"Lyd Havens' voice is that of evocation. Memory and sound, ache and joy, this reckoning with what makes us human—and how we can hold onto ourselves and others—lays the foundation for a body of work brimming with the sort of light that seeps through the crack underneath a worn and weathered door; soft, seeping, but bright enough to catch you off guard." --Kanika Lawton, editor-in-chief of L'Éphémère Review
